        <p>
      puts prints a string with an optional newline at the end whenever the trigger signal is positive and changes.

      <span class="emphasis"><em>inonl</em></span> (optional, defaults to 0) -- if non-zero, disables the default printing of a newline character at the end of the string

      <span class="emphasis"><em>ktrig</em></span> -- trigger signal, should be valid at i-time. The string is printed at initialization time if ktrig is positive, and at performance time whenever ktrig is both positive and different from the previous value.
